A serie of mixes, taking you deep into Kostello's universe, through a wide range and unique selection of particular soundscapes.

KOSTELLATIONS

Cold days. Dark nights. Eerie times. Somber thoughts. 

This is the exorcism to all of the above.

KOSTELLATION.032 | PERSEVERANCE, PART 2

3 HRS. Fast paced, dynamic, a bit evil, proud & strong, melancholic but hopeful, realistic & romantic. Feet in the ground & head in the clouds, this set is the perfect image of my past, present & future all mashed into a crazy whirlwind of electronic frenzy, picking in every subgenre possible, yet representing KOSTELLO & KOSTELLATIONS to a tee. 

Thank to everyone who was present at the event. You have touched and moved me more than you think. Thanks to everyone who's been following KOSTELLATIONS from the start. Your magical comments have warmed my heart at times where I needed it most. 

Taking a much needed break and seeing you in January for more sonic adventures.

Take care, stay safe & happy holidays !

Koko Xx

KOSTELLATION.033 | A NIGHT OF KOSTELLATIONS

Happy New Year everyone ! Wishing you the best for 2022. 🙃

I'm back with quite a different journey here. Calling out all my Yogis. 🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️

You'll hear no basskicks, no hi-hats, no claps on KOSTELLATION.034 (L'ÉVEIL ; ÉTUDE). No ''four to the floor'' business. Just soul food, to start the year on a fully nourished, serene mind. 

Inspired by my YogaMusique set for Sound Of CF/FK En Musique, couple months back, this set is perfect for introspection, for meditation, for studying, for relaxing. It includes music from movies & series Midsommar, Squid Game, 1917, The Green Book, Minari & artists such as Nils Frahm, Jon Hopkins, Max Richter, Jean-Michel Blais, Sofiane Pamart & many more. 

Glad to be back, Namaste 🕉
Koko

KOSTELLATION.040 | LA LUMIÈRE

What an honor finally playing Village Pied-Du-Courant, with so many of you showing up to dance with us under the mythical Jacques-Cartier Bridge and its powerful allies, a blinding sun & refreshing wind. This is a must-go-to summer spot just under our unique bridge, with a stunning viewpoint on La Ronde,  Saint-Laurent River, Old Port train tracks & our unique and internationally known bridge. Site being open to families and closing at 23:00 creates many different moments & emotions & gets me to play differently as well. 

Hope you'll enjoy as much as I did that day.

KOSTELLATION.043 | ALL-IN SEPT-ÎLES

And doing so, being on opening duties for the homies Kontrast Montreal with good friends Sierra, Maudite Machine & OKIN.

Thanks to all who showed up during my set.

Music from the likes of Fort Romeau, Noraj Cue, Cinthie, Sébastien Léger, Yulia Niko, Moullinex, Patrice Baumel, Impérieux, Quivver, Robag Wruhme & many more.

Enjoy ! 🙃

KOSTELLATION.044 | KONTRAST @ SALON DAOMÉ

In light of and as celebration of my new collaboration with the team @ SNDCHECK MTL as ''Consigliere'' for the year 2023, it is a pleasure to share my end of the summer 2022 SNDCHECK 0010 opening set. 

The guys first came to me PreCovid, mentioning to me their interest in making electronic music events. Well, wouldn't you know it, fast forward not even 2 years, having done their homework, they are indeed throwing some of the most interesting events on the scene right now. 

The concept is simple : mysterious marketing (DJs unannounced (you'll always be surprised), venues announced last minute) and  immersive, well-thought-of & forward thinking concepts. But mostly, no cellphones, allowing the focus to remain on the music, the people, the connection. 

Sun was shining like crazy for this outside event, and I had a lot of fun on a faster take @ sunny, melodic, indie & at times crazier & kinkier tracks, opening for homies LAPS & TDJ. 

Thanks to everyone @ Aire Commune for the amazing hospitality, Scène & Sauve (for working hard @ educating, creating, making a respectful safespace for the ladies of the community) & SNDCHECK for pulling through & putting their money where their mouth is.

Music from the likes of KiNK, George Fitzgerald, Marsh, Rodriguez Jr., Andhim, Spencer Brown, Todd Terry, Orbital, Tommy Trash, Mylo & way more. 

Enjoy !

KOSTELLATION.045 | SNDCHECK 0010 x AIRE COMMUNE (opening/TDJ)

Ah, words can't describe. 

The ILLUSION was real.

KOSTELLATION.046 | ILLUSION FESTIVAL 2022 (opening/Cid Inc)

Words can't describe the energy. It was perfect ! Thanks to everyone who was there dancing, screaming, going nuts.

Thanks to SNDCHECK MTL for the invitation. Thanks to Latour & underthebed for the amazing support.
